Description

Panadol Rapid Caplet 500mg offers a swift and effective solution for managing pain and reducing fever. Each caplet is formulated with 500mg of paracetamol, enhanced with sodium bicarbonate to ensure faster absorption, providing relief up to twice as quickly as regular Panadol tablets. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking prompt alleviation from headaches, muscular aches, period pain, dental pain, cold and flu symptoms, arthritis, and backache.

Key Features

• Easy to Swallow: The caplets are film-coated to facilitate easier swallowing and to mask any bitter taste, ensuring a more pleasant experience.
• Gentle on the Stomach: Suitable for individuals with sensitive stomachs or ulcers, as it contains no gluten, lactose, or sugar.
• Clear Identification: Each caplet is debossed with a 'P' on one side, making it easily identifiable.

Usage Instructions

Designed for adults and children aged 12 years and over, the recommended dosage is 2 caplets every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 8 caplets within 24 hours. It is advised to use the smallest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary and to consult a healthcare professional if pain persists.

Important Considerations

• Sodium Content: Each pair of caplets contains approximately 344–352mg of sodium, which should be considered by those monitoring their sodium intake.
• Precautions: Users should avoid concurrent use with other paracetamol-containing products and exercise caution if they have liver or kidney issues, are underweight, or consume alcohol regularly. Consultation with a doctor is recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
